Does the wife have the right to tell her husband not to bring his male friends to the house?

Question

Does the wife have the right to tell her husband not to bring his male friends to the house? The house is small, hence she is unable to observe purdah correctly.

Answer

In a situation where the wife's Hijaab will be compromised, she is entitled to tell her husband not to bring his male friends to the home. In fact, it is incumbent for her to insist that they should not come to the house in view of the great inconvenience of correctly observing Hijaab.
